Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over the warm tropical oceans
and have sustained winds in excess of 64 knots (74 miles/hour).
These storms
are capable of producing dangerous winds, torrential rains and
flooding, all of which may result in tremendous property damage and loss of
life in coastal populations.
One memorable storm was Hurricane Andrew (pictured above),
which was responsible for at least 50 deaths and
more than $30 billion in property damage.
The purpose of this module is to introduce
hurricanes and their associated features, to show where hurricanes
develop, and to explain the atmospheric conditions necessary for
hurricane development. The Hurricane module has been
organized into the following sections:

Disclaimer:
The Hurricane module now contains new technology in the form of
shockwave movies and VRML.
For the VRML, you will need the CosmoPlayer plugin
(available from
karmanaut.com). For the shockwave movies, you will need the
Shockwave plugin (available from
Macromedia).

We have recently been made aware that the original cosmo player web site is
no longer available.
However, we have been able to locate additional sites
which offer it. We can not guarantee that these sites will work.
